The CHEAPEST and REST poooh
CATS.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1887-09-07

Not only boiled onions for dinner, but
chives also were they encouraged to eat
with their bread and butter, and for this
purpose they had tufts of chives in their
little gardens. It was a medical man who
taught me to eat boiled onions as specific
for a cold in the chest. He did not know
at the time, till I told him, that they were
good for anything else"
The above appeared in the Lancaster
(Penn.) NeW Era, and having fallen under
the eye of an experienced physician or
that county, he writes as follows:
1.-THE above ought to be published in let
tiers of gold and hung up beside the table,
so that the children could read it and re-
mind their parents that no family ought to
be without onions the whole year round.
Plant old onions in the fall, and they will
come up at least three weeks earlier in the
spring than by spring planting. Give
children of all ages a few of them raw, as
soon as they are fit to be eaten ; DO not
miss treating them with a mess of raw on
ions three or four times a week. When
they get too large, or too strong to be eaten
raw, then boil or roast them. During un-
healthy seasons, when diphtheria and like
contagious diseases prevail, onions ought
to be eaten in the spring of the year at
least once a week. Onions are invlgorat-
ing and prophylactic beyond description.
Further, I challenge the medical fraterni-
ty, or any mother to point out a place
where children have died from d%iphtheria
or scarlatina, angonisa, etc., where onions
were freely used"

4 pJJICEY WOMAN.

A correspondent of the Williamsburg
Star and Herald, writes as follows from
Scranton, in that county:
On Wednesday, the 10th of August, Mr..
w. N. Royal, Assistant Superintendent,
MI. George B. Newcomb, r. NJ, of the
Northeastern Railroad, and Sheriff Brock
linton, of our county, came here with two
material trains and a full force of hands,
for the purpose Of getting some railroad
iron rails that the n. E. r. R. Company
had rented to MI. IT. G.. Willoughby. MI.
Willoughby was in Philadelphia at the
time. The above named gentlemen, with
one train and all the hands, went out to
the extreme end of Mr.. Willoughby's
tramroad, and began taking up the rails
as they returned. After nearly all days
work, the train was loaded and ordered to
be RUIZ out on the Northeastern line. Be-
fore it reached the line, it was stopped by
Mrs. Willoughby, who placed herself on
the tramroad in front OF it, and declared
that she would remain there until her hus-
bands return. She had her rocking chair
and sofa brought her, and remained there
through the night. Next morning (Thurs-
day, llth), Mr.. Thos. M. Gilland, railroad
attorney, arrived at the scene, but failed
in persuading Mrs. Willoughby to vacate
her position. Late in the afternoon a COM
promise was effected, providing that if
Mrs. Willoughby would vacate her posi-
tion that night Thursday and let the en-
CINE out, it would be put back in the same
position next morning, and remain there
until she secured counsel. This agree
ment was carried out and Friday morning
Messrs. johnson, of Marion, and Towns
end, of Florence, were both here to repre-
sent Mr.. Willoughby. The three lawyers
held a consultation, after which Mr.. Gil
land told the railroaders to come out with
the iron. Strong efforts were made by the
other lawyers to keep them from coming
out. The cry was made to tear up the
track. A few spikes were drawn, but the
railroad hands drove them again, and the
train was moving out. At this juncture
Mrs. W%illoughby came up and resumed
her position on the track fronting the adj
vancing engine. Cries were made about
the same time by Mrs. WIS men for guns
and pistols, but only n gun wa brought
out-a sixteen shot rifle. In this time the
engine neared Mrs. w. but she kept her
stand unfinchingly, until Mr.. w n. Roy
al took her off the track. Mrs. Willough-
by is q native of Kentucky.

THE TRAP WOULD BE A SAFEGUARD.--
swell, what on earth do you suppose that
old lady in room LOO wants now: She
has just rung again" said a clerk in one
of the largest hotels in Saratoga to the
senior proprietor, who had been several
times appealed to to crafty the whim OF a
notionate old guest.
"WellI don't know. What does she
want?
"She wants a mouse trap"
swell, get her q mouse trap"
"But you know there was nevera mouse
seen on that floor since the house was
built" =.
"What difference does that maker" said
the circumspect boniface. ut is not a
mouse that she wants; it's a mouse trap
get her a mouse trap"
The clerk sent right out, got a three hole
mouse trap for ten cents and the old lady
was comfortable in mind for several hours.

THE JONES CASE,

Commenting upon the termination of
the case of Jones, the Edgefeld triple
murderer, the Winnsboro NeUs makes the
fol. neutrality-suspicious. of the statutes:
Tt theory of Jones' counsel Is without
the foundation of law. The statute pro-
vides that "if any person committed for
treason or felony, etc., upon his prayer or
petition in open Court on the first week OF
the term to be brought to trial, shall not be
indicted sometime in the next term after
such commitment, shall, upon motion, etc.,
be set at liberty upon bail unless it appear
to the Court upon oath that the witnesses
for the State could not be produced the
same term and if any person committed
as aforesaid, upon his prayer or petition in
open Court, the first week of the term, to
be brought to trial, shall not be indicted
and tried the second term after his COM
mitment, or upon his trial shall be acquit-
ted, he shall be discharged from his impris-
onment."
This section of the habeas corpus act was
intended simply to prevent the indefinite
Imprisonment of parties charged with
non-bailable offences. To be entitled to
the benefit of this section the accused must
have exhibited the diligence which the
section imposes. If, for. example, he neg
lects at the first term to exhibit his petition
to be brought to trial, he will not be emit
| tied to his absolute discharge at the second
term, nor will he be entitled to this If the
continuance at the first term is had on &C.
| count of the absence of the States witness.
| es-for a more powerful reason, he will
not be entitled to it if the continuance is
had on his own motion at either term.
Before the accused shall be entitled to
this absolute discharge he must have ex-
hibited his petition to be brought to trial
at two successive terms of the Court after
his Incarceration, and the law imposes
upon the judge the imperative duty OF
discharging him unless it appears upon
oath, ETC., that "the witnesses for the State
| could not be produced at the same term"
This Interpretation is borne out by the
| following section of the Act, which pro-
vides-"that if the accused shall neglect
for two terms to apply for his enlarge
ment, that he shall not be entitled to the
writ in vacation time"
In order to entitle the accused to his dis
charge on account of delay in bringing the
trial the State must be at fault-Hurd on
| Ha6eas Corpus, p. 425; 2 Bay, 563.
The striking ofthe cases from the docket
does not amount to anything; they may
be restored, or he may be indicted again.
| Even if an order has been passed discharg-
ing the defendantin these casesit is no bar.
The facts of Jones' case do not entltle
him to the extraordinary remedy which
the law provides.

TO TAKE H HEAT OUT OF BURNS
Carron oil has been found very much bet
ter for this purpose than any other aPpli-
cation. 1t is made of equal parts of olive
oil and lime water. A bottle Of it should
be kept, ready for use, in every kitchen:
To make the lime water, put one gill of
good lime in a quart of water, in q tall
bottle, and let it stand where it will not
be Jared. The lime should be slaked
before putting it into the bottle. When
the lime settles use the clear water above
it. The water will hold only a certain
quantity of the lime in solution, and as it
is used, fresh water may be poured in on
the lime until the latter is nearly used up.

two inches from a straight line. The tree
was cut by the owner because it made the
cows in the pasture so cross-eyed to look at
it that the butter from their milk made
the children %tongue-tied. The tree never
leafed out till fall, because it took the sap
all summer to find its way up to the

SALT FOR MANURE PILEs.-Salt is one
of the best materials to put on manure
heaps in winter. It will keep them from
freezing during very cold weather, and
when it is warmer will keep the heap
moist and prevent fire-fanging. Salt in
connection with carbonic acid gas is ar
excellent solvent, and is a good fertilizer
for land containing a large amount of
vegetable matter. Of course where salt is
applied on n piles it should be where

SENATOR BUTLER AND THE RAILROADS.

A Washington correspondent writes
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, is here
for a few days. He is still an 9dmirer of
President Cleveland, and spent over an
hour at the White House to-day. He
thinks both Cleveland and Blaine will be
re-nominated and Cleveland will be re-
elected. Senator Butler intends to offer
an amendment to the Interstate COM
MERGE bill, for the protection of railroad
travellers. In an interview to-day he said
there were several causes for the recent
railroad accidents.
"In the first place." he remarked, there
is too much red tape in the so-called sys-
tenn management. The responsible man.
agement is too far removed from the opera
tions, and have not sufficient familiarity
with the employees or conditions. In the
second place, the railroad companies, many
of them, work their employees to death
on inadequate pay. Some plan ought TO
be devised which would prevent any COM
pany from working its employees more
than twelve hours consecutively. Some
of them, 1 learn, run the engineers, tire
men and conductors sixteen or seventeen
hours consecutively, without intermisslon
for resting. Human nature can't stand it.
The result is the poor man goes to sleep on
duty, and when an accident occurs is made
the scapegoat. 1t is inhuman and wrong,
and the railroad authorities ought to be
held to a ~stricter accountability"
"What remedy would you suggest"
81 have not thought of n [ opposed
and voted against the Interstate COM
merce bill, because, among other reasons, l
thought, and still think, Congress has no
Jurisdiction. But if we are to have the
law it might as we'll be made useful and of
some benefit, and I am not sure if an
amendment to that law might not he
framed which would accomplish great
good by simply making it a penal offence
for any railroad company to require more
than ten or twelve hours consecutive work
from any employees engaged in running
trains. Too many lives are at stake to al
low such parsimoniousness towards those
operatives who have their lives in their
keeping. Of course railroad accidents are
unavoidable in many cases."
Senator Butler is very emphatic in the
opinion that the Interstate law should be
so amended as to protect the travelling
public against the reckless and careless
management of the railroads. "The Gov
erment," he said, regulates steamboat
travel, prescribing how many ~passengersa
vessel may carry and other regulations,
and as long as we have the Interstate law
we might as we'll make it protect the pas.
sengers of railroads."
